Josh Hutcherson makes a somewhat startling confession in the latest issue of Out : He could see himself having sex with a man someday. “I would probably list myself as mostly straight,” says the Catching Fire star. “Maybe I could say right now I’m 100% straight. But who knows? In a f-cking year, I could meet a guy and be like, Whoa, I’m attracted to this person.” Hutcherson – who is dating actress Claudia Traisac – admits that he can recognize a handsome member of the same sex. But he’s never wanted to do more than admire him. “I’ve met guys all the time that I’m like, Damn, that’s a good-looking guy, you know?” he explains. “I’ve never been, like, Oh, I want to kiss that guy. I really love women. But I think defining yourself as 100% anything is kind of near-sighted and close-minded.” Hutcherson has been an outspoken advocate of the LGBT community for a long time, having opened up in the past about two gay uncles who died of AIDS and earning GLAAD’s esteemed Vanguard Award in 2012 . “I have this dream that one day, my kid’s gonna come home from school and be like, ‘Dad, there’s this girl that I like, and there’s this guy that I like, and I don’t know which one I like more, and I don’t know what to do,'” the actor said, adding: “And it’d just be a non-issue, like, ‘Which one is a good person? Which one makes you laugh more?’” As for his Hunger Games character of Peeta? Who is in a love triangle with Katniss and Gale? Would he ever consider a threesome? Sure, says Hutcherson! “I know Peeta would be into it, for sure. He’s very sensitive, in touch with his emotions. I think it really might solve a lot of their problems. You know what? I’m going to pitch that idea. Let’s make it a – what’s it called when three people are in a relationship together? A triad? That’ll go over well with Middle America.”
